Call the numbers $\"a\"$ and $\"b\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a+=+b+%2B+4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a+%2B+b+=+34\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute $\"a\"$ in the 1st equation for $\"a\"$ in the 2nd
\n" ); document.write( " $\"b+%2B+4+%2B+b+=+34\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract $\"4\"$ from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2b+=+30\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by $\"2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"b+=+15\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a+=+b+%2B+4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a+=+19\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The numbers are $\"19\"$ and $\"15\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
